Wouldn’t it be great to nano-mod a case? Engineers have used a laser to make cuts as small as 15nm wide.... whoa!

Well I'm here kickin' it in Minneapolis, writing a haiku. At least
I think that's a haiku...
There's snow here. More of it, anwyay. Excitement abounds.
I recently fell in love with Drupal's news aggregator system. I've feeds form SciFi.com, DesmoinesMC.com, SlashDot.org, Wired.com, Space.com and the BBC News. I'll be adding more feeds and at some point will probably categorize ultrasciencelabs growing list of syndicated news.
Additionaly, Drupal features a "blog-it" option for registered users; this allows you to post a blog entry that automatically places the content from the RSS feed, a link to the story and it's title into a personal blog entry for discussion. I extended that feature further by adding a "discuss content in forum" link that does the same- only with a forum entry.

[quote]WASHINGTON -- A pair of NASA scientists told a group of space officials at a private meeting here Sunday that they have found strong evidence that life may exist today on Mars, hidden away in caves and sustained by pockets of water.[/quote]
[quote]What Stoker and Lemke have found, according to several attendees of the private meeting, is not direct proof of life on Mars, but methane signatures and other signs of possible biological activity remarkably similar to those recently discovered in caves here on Earth.[/quote]
We definitely needed a diversifeid portfolia of fora. Topics ranging the gamut of geekery have been submitted, and we'll add new categories as necessary. Be sure to post forum topic suggestions in the "bug reporting & suggestions" forum.

Well, I finally took the time to update the looks and layout a bit; if only I would do the same for my project logs... one thing at a time, I guess. The forums may need a little tuning yet, but overall I think the site is looking much better- be sure to let me know if it is teh s uck- constructive criticism is always welcome.
In other news, I am in the process of adding some news feeds; check "news feeds" in the top menu, or the "DesMoinesMC.com" block in the left menu. Rock.
NOVA, the science-based PBS TV program has a new site [url=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/]"scienceNOW"[/url]. Definitely a good resource if you enjoy learning. Show clips, transcripts, interviews, recommended reading are all available online. Cutting edge science and tech on the air 5 times a year as a magazine series- looks pretty promising.
